EDITORS COMMENTS
This digitally enhanced image captures a lively scene of Romans playing at Mora, depicted in an illustration from the 19th-century publication Illustrated Travels. The artwork, edited by H. W. Bates and published around 1880, showcases a moment of leisure and camaraderie among Italian men outside a public house or tavern. The vibrant street scene portrays the Italians engaged in a game of Mora, a popular parlour game during that era. They gather under an arbour or pergola, enjoying the outdoors while indulging in this pastime activity. The engraving beautifully depicts their animated expressions and gestures as they compete against each other. The atmosphere is reminiscent of early 19th-century Europe, with its charming architecture and bustling streets. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the social life and recreational pursuits of that time period. The presence of Roman imagery adds historical depth to the illustration, emphasizing Italy's rich cultural heritage. Additionally, we can see hints of national pride through the inclusion of an Italian flag fluttering above one building. Overall, this print invites viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in the joyful ambiance surrounding these Romans playing at Mora. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of European society during the late 19th century.
